Work is progressing on an OpenGL X server, that takes advantage of the 
Composite Extension and OpenGL and a yet to be completed EGL extension of 
OpenGL. This X server promises significant performance increases, and my well 
replace xorg as the predominant Xserver sometime in the future. 

A Working prototype exists here http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/Xgl

You can follow it's progress
here <dri-egl@lists.freedesktop.org>
and here, <xorg@lists.freedesktop.org>

Cheers,
